I installed it with the .exe, perhaps the directory I pointed it to was incorrect? This is the newest version.

Nevermind. I got it to work. Did a complete deletion of all plugin files and a clean install. It works now. Thank you!

is there a way to supress the warning the plugin throws after obs crashes - No I don't want to stop the Plugin after a crash
OBS did not shut down cleanly (for example, due to a crash or freeze).The Advanced Scene Switcher plugin would normally start automatically.Would you like to keep it stopped for now?
NO - I found that I can click No with Alt+N after the message gets focus - but I need it to always say No

Thanks for sharing the example macro!
Unfortunately, I am not able to observe any issues on my side when using such a macro.

Can you please enable verbose logging on the General tab of the plugin and share an OBS log with a reproduction of the issue:

Please also note down the time at which the problem occurred since verbose logs can become rather large very quickly.
I manged to change things around for the macros that was having problems with and changed this around a bit manly used exact timings instead of using for at least which seems to have fixed the issues. Thanks for your time.

Sorry about that!
I will make sure to include an option to suppress this warning permanently.

Thank you very much ..
I think I found it - Since -disable-startup-Check was removed I delete .sentinel .. and for the Plugin it schould be .running ..
Thank you for your awesome work !

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to replicate this transition issue on my side.
This is what I have tried:
Do you have any additional hints how to reproduce it on my side?
Sorry if I simply misunderstood what the problem is!

I'll have to do some other testing to make sure it really is Advanced Scene Switcher causing it, though some are happening to scenes whose transitions are being handled by Transition Table.
To be frank, though, my current setup is way beyond a need of a total refresh, both in bulk (with granularity going as fine as backing up the entire %APPDATA%\obs-studio tree to as coarse as the entire partition or even the drive everything resides on) as well as from within OBS Studio and the various plugins' interfaces, e.g. Advanced Scene Switcher's own.
More soon. In any event, I'm likely gonna be stuck on 32.0.4 for a while to come. I just don't want support for vertical canvases to be the thing that kills my setup, especially I don't have a use for them and don't want to deal with them anyway.

UPDATE: I can manually create new rulesets within Advanced Scene Switcher, both in OBS Studio 32.1.0 and 32.0.4 using the Scene Switcher 1.32.9 and they'll work fine. My older stuff that has been around since long before a secondary (nearly always vertical) canvas was a thing.
I tried creating a new version of one of the events that uses a fade but it does a cut instead, like the old one.
Create from completely new rule list (e.g. via a new scene set) and they work fine.
Unless I can figure out the differences between the new and old ones, I may have to do this all over again from scratch, by hand.
Not fun.
Of course, unless you have some other ideas I can try?

HOW DO I INSTALL THIS IN OBS STEAM? I need step-by-step instructions. I'm a newbie. I've been struggling with the installation for half an hour. WHY HAS NO ONE MADE A GUIDE? I moved the files to the root folder, I moved the files to plugins, but where do I open this script in the program?

Unfortunately, I don't have any other ideas at the moment.
HERE YOU GO:
Download the advanced-scene-switcher-*-windows-x64.zip archive.
Next, right click on OBS in steam.
Select "Manage", then "Browse local files".
Extract the contents of the advanced-scene-switcher-*-windows-x64.zip archive into this directory, so that the contents of the
data folder will be merged into OBS' data folder and the contents of the obs-plugins folder will be merged into OBS' obs-plugins folder.Next up launch or restart OBS and the plugin should be accessible via "Tools" -> "Advanced Scene Switcher" within OBS.
HOPE THIS HELPS! :D
If it does not can you please share an OBS log and a screenshot of what the
obs-plugins/64bit folder of OBS looks like.To be honest I didn't even know installing OBS via Steam was an option.
I will add instructions to the wiki page.

Hi,
I'm experiencing a consistent crash with Advanced Scene Switcher (latest version) on OBS 32.1.0 (64-bit) under Windows 10.
**Crash happens exactly when:**
- Switching to a different Scene Collection
- Closing OBS
The plugin works perfectly during normal use. The crash only occurs during the stop/unload phase.
**Crash details:**
- Exception: `c0000005` (access violation)
- Fault address: `w32-pthreads.dll!pthread_mutex_unlock+0x27`
- Stack trace always points to:
```
advanced-scene-switcher-lib.dll!advss::SendWebsocketVendorEvent
→ advss::RunStopSteps
→ advss::SwitcherData::Stop
→ advss::SwitcherData::~SwitcherData
→ FreeSceneSwitcher
→ obs.dll!free_module + obs_shutdown
```
It looks like the plugin is trying to send a WebSocket vendor event while its internal `SwitcherData` object is being destroyed, causing the mutex to be unlocked in an invalid state.
I can reproduce it 100% of the time just by switching scene collections.
Would it be possible to add a safeguard (or make the WebSocket event on stop optional) so the plugin doesn't crash during collection switch / shutdown?
Thanks in advance!

As you already pointed out the advss is just trying to emit a websocket event when changing scene collections.
The crash happens within the proc_handler_call call of the obs_websocket_vendor_emit_event function of the OBS websocket API.
The mutex in question is an OBS internal one and not used by the advss directly.
This can happen when there are source leaks anywhere in OBS (most likely a plugin).
I previously spent quite a bit of time trying to track down a potential issue within advss somehow corrupting OBS, but it ultimately turned out that a different plugin was just leaking resources.
Once I fixed the leak in the other plugin the issue was gone immediately.
I assume even if you completely disable the advanced scene switcher via plugin manager you will instead run into an the "Source Cleanup Error" being reported:
If that is the case I would suggest disabling all plugins and turning them back on one by one to narrow down which one is the culprit.
But just in case can you please share the full crash log?
Then I will have another look.

The plugin can only "do stuff" when OBS is already running.
So, unfortunately you can't use it to launch OBS.
Sorry, if I misunderstood you question!
